Not going to search the forum for the GDT for the November 10 game where the Panthers won 5-2, but was there as much salt from Panthers fans? Maybe some joking about the Canes not really losing.

Whatever. It's one losing an 82 game season. Rather a loss here than when it counts, in the playoffs.

Missing Forsling hurt the exits from the D zone.

Only concern for me was that he never showed up to the bench, even to be there as a cheerleader.
Hopefully, it's just super precaution. I'm sure it's not at 100%, but at the same time it should be "healed" and not made out of glass here on out, right? Not like he got Brian Campbell'd or Scott Steven'd and was a violent hit.

If I can chime in on that I wouldn't worry to much about it given the setup for the visiting teams at PNC. In order to come back out he'd have to wait for a stoppage and cross the ice to the bench. No real sense in doing that if he's not going to play (even with a minor injury).

Ah, good point. Forgot how it's setup at the PNC arena.
Used to the Amerant arena design.

These two teams would be bitter, bitter rivals if they were both in the Atlantic Division. Even now, these games have a little extra energy to them.

I'd imagine that the intensity from the Panthers side wouldn't have been the same if both Gus and MT didn't get injured in the 1st period. It would've been a rather demoralizing loss for the Canes when the Panthers were playing without two important players.

I think the 1-0 win is way more important to Canes fans than it is to players of either team or that a 1-0 win would have been to Panthers fans.

I understand it. When you’re the inferior team whose fans know they will lose when it counts, you place irrational importance on regular season games. To a lesser extent, we used to do that with the Bolts.

Other than not getting a point, not upset at all. They played very well, with two key players injured. I like the structure being there all the time, with injuries, with changes in lines, with changes in defensive pairing.
Hopefully the injuries won't linger too long.

Forsling got tangled up with someone behind the net early in the game, didn’t see what happened, but he got up slowly and came back out in front of the net, he was kind of standing straight up, looked like something was hurting. Then the puck came to him and he had to battle against a forechecking Cane. That was his last shift.

Anyway, the score of the game's an afterthought. Both teams are making the playoffs. The Panthers clearly didn't have the same energy level in that game that the Canes had, which is understandable given recent history between these two teams.

Losing 2 of your 3 best skaters in one period, however, is a disaster. I can't think of any outcome that could have been worse than Forsling/Tkachuk leaving injured except maybe Barkov going out, too. At that point 1/82 is irrelevant.

If the players have no real leg injury but have to leave the game, they usually spend the game on the treadmill. They don't just get the game "off", they have to work out instead except if they have observation/press box duty

I get the idea of the revenge game but I never subscribed to it.

Beating Vegas twice didn't feel any different to me. We aren't closer to a cup

Last night was a great game. I like Carolina on the ice.

Their fans and admin are a different story but who cares.

It's February 22

Was nice at least beating them in their own barn for once, but yeah all for naught if we cant do it again in the playoffs.
